Description
A cozy and savory dish featuring ground beef, vibrant veggies, and a drizzle of hot honey, perfect for autumn.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (use halal ground beef)
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or mixed)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or a halal alternative)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 cups cooked rice (white or brown, as preferred)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. It’s always good to have everything ready before you begin cooking!
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pan with the cooked beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
- Add Spices: Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Incorporate Hot Honey: Drizzle in the hot honey and soy sauce, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Let this cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice first, followed by the ground beef mixture. You can adjust the quantity based on your preference.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, replace ground beef with lentils or a plant-based meat substitute. Adjust hot honey to taste for spiciness.
